My classroom is coming together!!







Well along with graduate school I have been trying to work on my classroom. As any teacher can tell you, the summer is the time to get organized. Since I moved classrooms this year I have a lot of extra stuff to do. I have had to paint the room and I have to say that the color turned out brighter then expected. Although the pictures make it look really bright, it is not quite that bright in person. Even though it isn't exactly what I expected I still like it. No more boring classroom for me. I will post more pictures when I have completed the room.



Lucas is out of town this weekend. I unfortunely have class tomorrow and could not go with him. That leaves me stuck here with absolutely nothing to do. I need to find more friends. Well that is about it for right now. Life is not super exciting.

Pensacola


Well I got back from Pensacola on Friday afternoon. The trip was ok. Not my favorite, but not too bad. The naval museum was actually pretty interesting, and I at least got to eat good food and walk on the beach. The bus ride was the worst part. Sitting on a bus for nine hours is not my idea of a good time. Now all I have to get through is one more week of classes and I am home free. The wedding planning can resume and hopefully I can get some things accomplished.

Weekend Success

So I actually had a very enjoyable weekend. I am very sad it is now over and I must return to the world of graduate school. I am counting down the days until I am finished. On Saturday I spent a few hours trying to organize my classroom. Since I have moved to a new room I have a lot to do. I will post pictures of my progress later. I always enjoy Sundays. Even though it means the weekend is almost over I am actually very productive. Today I successfully mowed the lawn and cleaned out my closet. That was a very big project, and I have to say it looks much better. Now I am off to bed because I know that alarm will be going off very early.

It's always something




I dedicate this blog to my stupid car. Why do things always have to break at the most inconvenient time. Tonight when I went to get into my car my power windows on my drivers side decided they did not wish to work. FABULOUS!! Let me tell you how excited I was. Since I have to drive myself to graduate school tomorrow my fiance and brother successfully duct taped my window up. Did I mention it was camo duct tape. So now I look like the biggest redneck driving around with camo duct tape on my window. I have included some pictures so you can see how ridiculous it looks. I am embarrassed to drive on the MTSU campus tomorrow. Now please leave me a comment and let me know how stupid this looks. I just hope this is under warrenty. It was a nice ending to this already boring day.

Almost Done

I am finally coming to the end of the graduate school road. Thank you Jesus!! Literally. He helped me through some of the times that I just wanted to scream and hurt a professor. I began my last class today. It only lasts for 3 weeks and is actually quite interesting. I am taking part in the MTSU aerospace education workshop. This is a free scholarship to teachers and counts for 4 hours of graduate credit. I also get two free hours of flight instruction and am taking a trip to Pensacola, Florida. We will be touring the naval museum there. Although I do go to class everyday from 8-3, it is well worth it. Being almost finished is a great feeling. A pay increase and a huge weight will be lifted off my shoulders. Now I can actually focus on my job instead of college.

My Babies


Well, since I don't have any children yet, I have to blog about my sweet puppies. I just wanted to share a picture that we took of Lily and Maddie having a sweet moment. They don't often lay together so it was a good picture.

Summer Cleaning

Well I am officially excited. I just found out that my last grad school class does not start until June 9th. That gives me another week to get my house organized and paint my classroom for next year. I began today with the handy dandy rugdoctor. My carpets were horrific thanks to my dogs. Thanks to a few hours of hard work my carpets now look very nice. To bad they will only stay like that for about a week. The dogs will successfully ruin them again.
